Timberwolves star Michael Beasley got into a physical confrontation with a fan Thursday night at the streetball tournament Dyckman in Washington Heights.

Playing opposite good friend Kevin Durant, Beasley faced heckling all night from one baseline. Early in the second half, he had enough, getting in the visibly inebriated fan’s face and pushing it with an open hand.

“He put his hands on me, I didn’t touch him,” said the heckler, Garland Quince, who added that he wouldn’t press charges. “I was just telling him I was a Kevin Durant fan. Kevin Durant is my favorite player.”

A video captured by someone nearby confirmed that Quince, who was behind a guardrail, said more than just that. Someone in his vicinity was audibly cursing at Beasley.

Security pulled Beasley away only for him to return seconds later. It looked like he was going to apologize, but Quince, who described himself as a Dyckman regular, said the NBA standout was ready to “mush me in the face again.”

“I don’t know what transpired to make that happen,” Dyckman executive director Kenny Stevens said of the incident. “All I know is that if you’re a professional, you have to be a professional all the time.”

Beasley, who finished with 15 points, left the park quickly right after the final buzzer. His Team 914 squad defeated Durant’s Team Nike, 80-77, on a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left by Aaron (The Problem) Williams.

Durant poured in 29 points, but had an off shooting night after dominating at Rucker Park’s Entertainer’s Basketball Classic on Monday with 66 points and scoring 41 on Tuesday at Nike Pro City. The NBA’s two-time scoring leader also left Dyckman quickly Thursday night before speaking to reporters, but he said on Twitter: “Yo dyckman was too crazy…I had fun but we lost…my time in new york was cool.”

The crowd was jam packed with people climbing up on the fence in all directions trying to catch the two NBA stars. Stevens said more than 1,000 people were kept out in an effort to keep the crowd as manageable as possible. More than 2,000 packed into the park, including Quince, who said he has never had a confrontation with a player before.

“It was a nice, hostile environment for street, summer basketball,” Stevens said. “That’s what we create here at Dyckman. That’s what we want people to understand. The atmosphere is intense, but it’s friendly.”

Beasley didn’t seem to think so. He was visibly agitated entering the park because of the mass of humanity and because he had to climb over a steel guardrail to get onto the court. The 6-foot-10, 235-pounder, who averaged 19.2 points and 5.6 rebounds this season, clearly wasn’t expecting the large, boisterous crowd.

“That’s how Dyckman is,” said former Providence star Geoff McDermott, who had 14 points, including a dunk on Durant. “It’s one of the best tournaments in the city.”

Quince, who is just over 5 feet tall, agrees with that assessment. He was just surprised Beasley would get physical with him.
